NETGEAR - WiFi 5 Extender EX6250, 1.75 Gbps, adds up to 2,100 sq ft - White

Our house is one floor but has thick stone and concrete walls. The NETGEAR AC1750 (R6400) Router was in an inside closet and WiFi was good in half the house poor in the other half and nonexistent in the garage and outside. We now have coverage throughout with good speed and reliability. Did have a difficulty in the beginning. I did not realize that the install was not complete. Loading the app on my phone and utilizing the web site I realized the error and was able to complete the install correctly. Suggestion: Be aware of the notification lights on the device.

I purchased this in hopes of expanding my WiFi range from our office to the backyard where our garage is located. Unfortunately, no matter where we place it, it doesnt seem to provide adequate bandwidth from the router. Set up was easy enough and it's only lost connection to the router once. Unfortunately, that one time required me to move the extender closer to the router which made the service in the garage even worse. I unfortunately cannot return the extender anymore so now I am debating if I want to spend another $130 in hopes that it creates a better mesh network.

I purchased the Wi-Fi Range Extender to extend the range of the 2nd floor devices since the router was in the basement. As Wi-Fi Range Extender I would not recommend this product. With the extender located in my upstairs hallway I was getting speeds of 80Mbps down using SpeedTest on my iPhone at the furthest distance in my house. However, without the extender I was already getting 150Mbps to 220Mpbs to the basement at the same location on the 2nd floor. I had CAT5 lines installed upstairs when the house was built so I decided to configure the device as an access point. AMAZING!!! I was easily getting 350Mbps to almost 500Mbps download speeds. With the access point upstairs, 25 wifi devices upstairs of the 70+ total devices and growing now connect to the upstairs access point. Configuration is a little tricky but once you get it setup no worries. The iPhone Nighthawk app is useless but the website tool is great, not many features, but easy to configure.

Works great. I use it in my back house and connects easily with with my spectrum router that is located in my front house. Obviously has slower speeds in the back house but still plenty fast for streaming

This was a great purchase. Recommended by staff at Best buy. We have been frustrated with wifi coverage in our home for way to long. Problem solved! Made a huge difference. Thank you Best Buy!
